Abstract
An electrically conductive member includes an elongate body, which has at least one electrically conductive region. The electrically conductive region comprises a porous polymeric material coated with an electrically conductive material. A method of manufacturing the electrically conductive member includes the steps of extruding an elongate body of polymeric material, wherein at least one region of the elongate body is porous in nature; and coating the elongate body with an electrically conductive material, such that the electrically conductive material substantially coats the pores of the at least one region.
